On Friday evening at the American Hotel Annex a dinner was held jointly with the Southwestern Section of the American Mathematical Society and the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers. Father W.J. Ryan, vice-president of St. Louis University and a member of the Association, acted as toastmaster at the dinner, and the following addresses were given: "The age of power" by Mr. A.S. Langsdorf, formerly dean of the Schools of Engineering and Architecture of Washington University; "Zoology in the secondary schools" by Dr. Caswell Grave, professor of zoology, Washington University.

At noon on Saturday the members of the Missouri Section of the Association and the Southwestern Section of the Society were the guests of Washington University at a luncheon which was served in the Tower Dormitory dining hall.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Chairman, E. R. Hedrick, University of Missouri; Vice-Chairman, W.A. Luby, Kansas City Junior College; Secretary-Treasurer, P. R. Rider, Washington University.

The 1922 meeting will be held in Kansas City in November, at the time of the meeting of the Missouri State Teachers' Association.

(4) "The relation of mathematics to engineering" by Professor E. R. Hedrick, University of Missouri;

(5) "Graphical methods of representing a function of a function and of solving allied problems" by Professors Hedrick and Roever;

(6)"An elementary exposition of the theorem of Bernoulli with applications to statistics" by Professor H.L. Rietz, University of Iowa;

(7) "Final report of the National Committee on Mathematical Requirements" by Dr. Eula A. Weeks, Cleveland High School, St. Louis.

In addition to these papers, an informal talk was given by Professor H. E. Slaught, of the University of Chicago, who told the Section of the recent grant to the Association by Mrs. Paul Carus of a sum of money to be used for the publication of expository monographs on mathematical subjects. In the absence of the author, the paper by Professor Rietz was read by Professor C. H. Ashton of the University of Kansas. Several of the papers led to interesting discussions. Abstracts of the papers follow below, the numbers corresponding to the numbers in the list of titles:

1. Mr. Huntington discussed mathematics clubs for pupils of junior high school age, maintaining that they offer opportunities not yet realized for enlisting the interest and effort of boys and girls in the study of mathematics.
